This ice hockey drill will increase the level of intensity in the skating drills. A little competition never hurts and usually motivates players to go faster than doing the drills by themselves.

This ice hockey drill starts on the whistle. Two players, one from each corner race around the top of the circle, then the bottom of the circle. As the players come out of the second turn the coach throws a puck out to center ice for the players to chase. Remind players to not give up if they are not first one to puck.

Similar to the first two skating drills, make sure players are rested. This is not a drill to work on stamina or anaerobic endurance, the focus is speed and players can only build their foot speed when they are 100%.

Similar to the first Speed Series Drill, this ice hockey skating drill is focused on Speed! This drill is especially good for defensemen to work on their backward to forward pivots as they are skating backwards approaching the blue line. This drill is very simple but make sure players are well rested so they can train their feet to move as fast as they can.

This Ice Hockey Drill focuses on SPEED! Encourage players to move their feet faster than they can imagine. This drill should be given several reps and make sure players are 100% rested so that they are training their feet to go as fast as possible. This is the first in a series of skating drills that will emphasize speed.
